TV in Syria
The television in Syria is mainly from the Organization de la Radio et la Télévision Arabe Syrienne controlled (ORTAS), which reports to the Syrian Information Ministry.
Syrian television began broadcasting on July 23, 1960. Initially, a 90-minute program was broadcast. From 1978 onwards the broadcast was partly in color, and since 1980 the entire program has been broadcast in color. A second channel (Channel 2) started in 1985, followed by the Syria Satellite Channel in 1995 .
The first private broadcaster was Cham TV and was founded in 2005. However, since he did not receive a license from the Ministry of Information, he began broadcasting from Dubai in 2006. Other private broadcasters are Addunya TV , which is majority owned by Rami Makhlouf , and Orient TV .
In June 2012, the Arab League officially asked the satellite operators of Arabsat and Nilesat to stop broadcasting the Syrian media. On September 5, 2012, Nilesat stopped broadcasting the Syria Satellite Channel, Syria News and Addounia TV. Arabsat followed this step on the same day. On October 22, 2012, the two television channels Syrian Drama Channel and Syria Satellite Channel on Hotbird also ended.
